How big is 4 pounds of cherries? How much room will I need to store them?

The cherries were company grade, I ordered before Christmas and gave them as Christmas gifts. They are special. You get a lot, but store in glass jars in cold place - I have them in the am with my oatmeal. They really are good for you.

It's way less than you think - These are dried cherries. They take up the space a gallon jug of milk would.

Four pounds of cherries would fill a tall storage jar -- the kind with the rubber ring and metal clasp -- or an average women's shoebox. I just kept them in the bag with a clip and put them into a one-pint container for easy service as needed.

correction - actually, pretty close to the size of 4 lb of sugar, not 2 lbs as I mentioned earlier.

Hi, I LOVE this product! I normally use 2 1- gallon freezer bags. They freeze wonderfully and stay fresh in the fridge for weeks if they last that long:)

It is smaller than a box of oatmeal. It does not take much room at all. I have a side-by-side which does not have much room, but I have no problem with these. I just put the cherries into a ziplock bag first. These are great to just snack on, too.

4 x 4 x 1 = 16 cubic so maybe about 8 bags will do the job. Buy the ingredients and mix it yourself or buy from local garden center by bulk.

I have ordered the cherries from Traverse Bay multiple times. It takes me about 3 months or so to go through a bag. I put a small supply in a ziplock sandwich bag for daily use. I keep the original bag tightly closed with a clip and put that inside a big ziplock bag. I just put that on a cupboard shelf in the kitchen. They keep well. I do notice that the very last of the bag of cherries becomes a little bit more dried out that the beginning of the bag. I kept an unopened box in the freezer for several months when I got two boxes at a time. They freeze perfectly. It is worth it to get the 4 pound bag.

The large basket has a 4.5" square bottom, is 11" across at the top, and 5" deep. I currently have 8 apples, 2 lemons, 3 limes, 2 oranges, 1 apricot, 2 plums, and 1 grapefruit in it, and there is still a bit of room. The middle basket has a 4.5" square bottom, is 9" across at the top, and 3.5" deep. I have 3 potatoes & a sweet potato in it, and still have lots of room. The small basket has a 4" square bottom, is 7" across at the top, and 3" deep. I have several garlic bulbs and 3 onions in it, and it is full. I actually used a tape measure as I was answering, so these measurements are accurate. The chains are nice and seem to be durable so far.

I have not used that area for storing anything but I think a bottle of nail polish will fit, depending on the shape of it. There would be room for two. Polish and base coat!

Almost 4 inch long, I would say. One big strawberry to fit in normally if you are looking at the width. I hope it helps. I usually add mint leaves and I cut cucumbers and add it to the infuser. Strawberries if small can be put in normally. But the big one you will have to cut it is half to give it some breathing room.

Big enough.. If you need a bigger pot you're gonna have to build a fire.. I cook 5 lb pot roasts in mine and still have plenty of room for vegetables

Hi, give me a few days, I'll measure them and reply again. The measurements are probably differing because the bottom is narrower than the top. The Sterlite site says Dimensions:17" L x 11 1/8" W x 12 3/4" H. This seems about right. My original plan was to store them with the short side facing the wall of the closet shelf, I didn't like the amount overhang on the shelf so I am storing them long side to wall and it is working out fine for me.

the space is about 3 inches. BUT- personally, I wouldn't put fruit in it. Don't want it touching the wide metal bands. Unless you put some kind of say cheesecloth inside as a liner. Its pretty, but think best for plants, like my "Staghorn". Good luck.

I got it the Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries over one month now and I used 1 bag and still keep the remaing in their containers . It seem very good so I don't think I need to lay it in the refrigerator.

It will hold a lot! We put in 16 pounds plus maybe a bucket and that was designed to go up and around the 2 one gallon glass containers about 2 inches. Then provide a nice bed for the platters to rest on. The party was 3 hours long and we set up 30 mins ahead and we didn't have a lot of melting either. (Inside party)

There were four 8 X 11 bags that came with my unit, so you pretty much need to buy any other bags that you need to use!I bought pint sized bags (food saver brand) 5 X 9's and I went through the box last summer. Our new garden was a success.

The measurements are approximately 14" high and 11" wide. If you place it in the fridge you will loose at least a fifth plus a shelf. This company also makes on gallon jugs, which are available at Whole Foods. A gallon is easier to manage, I would use that. Good luck!

I put 25 lbs in a 5-gallon bucket. I wouldn't put in anymore than that. I store lentils and black eye peas.

You will need a 9 inch clearence because they are just slightly over 8 1/2 inches tall. I just filled 3 of them up with ice tea, I love them. Everything seems to taste better in glass. They can develope a smell though, depending on what you have in them. I had one keep a cherry smell in it for a good while from keeping cherries in it, but that just made it smell good. it didn't hurt what was being put in it ...

My reasoning exactly. Since "we are what we eat", we owe it to ourselves to know as much as we can about what we ingest. The more organic, the better ! As to how I keep my cherries: upon arrival, I get rid of the plastic bags they are packaged in originally, and transfer them in 2L glass canning jars (with a rubber gasket on the attached lid). I think glass is better than plastic to maintain a neutral taste, especially over longer periods of time and at room temperature. Our jars of cherries sit out on the counter, not in the frig. Thanks for sharing !
